How to give away a new game to people who own an existing one

I have Game A.  Some nonzero number of people have purchased it or gotten it through bundles.

I have created Game B. It's an add-on to Game A.  I would like to give Game B to all the people who have previously purchased Game A, but NOT to anyone who buys it from now on. (Game B will be put up for sale separately)

How do I do this?

You could create a 100% off sale (that has claiming enabled) with a “ownership requirement” sale condition: https://itch.io/docs/creators/sales#sale-conditions

While the sale is active, though, anyone who obtains game A will be able to access the sale.

To limit who has access to the sale, you can enable a coupon code. Then you can send out an email using out email tool to just the current owners of the game with a link to that sale’s coupon code URL.

Thank you! The coupon code was the missing link that I couldn't figure out!
